Chapter 1079 Mr. Qi's Clingy Wife 8
Qi Lu didn't want to think that way either, but the look in the other person's eyes was hard to describe.
It's a bit annoying.
Emotional progress: -14.
Song Jinhuan was overjoyed. The price had gone up without her doing anything. What was the difference between this and finding a bargain?
At 5:30 p.m., Qi Lu left the office at a leisurely pace.
However, on the way to the parking lot, they were stopped by several middle-aged men and women in their fifties and sixties.
"Young man, are you working in there?"
The aunt, whose face was thin and haggard, asked timidly.
Behind him were several middle-aged men, their faces showing a forced composure and humility, while they tried to put on smiles.
"Yes, Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?" Qi Lu's voice was gentle, which greatly calmed the anxiety of the group.
“My surname is Liu, and I am a villager from Wujia Village. We are all from Wujia Village.”
"Wujia Village?" Qi Lu pondered for a moment. "Wujia Village, which is planned to be included in the old village renovation project?"
Aunt Liu gave a dry laugh on her wrinkled face.
An older man behind her pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and said in a fierce but weak voice, "My name is Wu Gengyun, from Wu Family Village."
As he spoke, he spread out the paper. A quick glance revealed about twenty signatures, each with a fingerprint on it.
“At the end of last year, the village chief asked us to sign a letter of intent for demolition, but more than 20 households in Wujia Village did not agree.”
“But starting in March of this year, all the villagers who signed the letter of intent moved out.”
"In an effort to force us to compromise, the village chief and the village committee cut off the power lines and water supply a couple of days ago."
"And they threatened us, saying, 'Go ahead and sue us if you dare.'"
“We are all farmers who work in the fields. When we went to the town to complain, they simply wouldn’t listen. There are people from the village chief’s faction there.”
"Cutting off water and electricity is cutting off people's livelihood. This is wrong, but we don't know who to turn to."
Several people who came out were stopped, but they all said it wasn't their responsibility.
"How can this be? We are also citizens of City A!" Wu Gengyun became more and more indignant as he spoke, but more so with heartache and helplessness.
"High temperatures in August, power and water outages—isn't this forcing us to our deaths?!"
Qi Lu listened quietly, and after he stopped, he asked, "Why don't you agree to the demolition?"
The moment this question was raised, the group became even more agitated.
"Where will the money for demolition and relocation come from?"
"We have to pay over a million yuan in compensation for the demolition, and they'll make you take out a bank loan. We're just ordinary people, where would we get that much money?"
"I'm happy about the demolition, but it also means I'll be in debt, and there's no compensation for the rented houses during the construction period!"
"It will take at least three to five years to build, right? The rent for a large family is at least ten thousand yuan a year, and there are no subsidies for that!"
The group of people were all talking at once, their resentment palpable.
Qi Lu remained silent, but his expression grew increasingly cold.
Song Jinhuan was furious and said indignantly, "Mr. Qi, the village chief of Wu Family Village has gone too far!"
"How can you cut off the water and electricity?"
This is illegal!
Qi Lu glanced at her indifferently.
Song Jinhuan immediately made a zipping motion over her mouth.
Shut up, don't be fierce.
She was afraid.
After a few people poured out their grievances, their voices gradually faded away.
Qi Lucai asked calmly, "What matter do you hope to resolve today?"
Several people shouted in unison, "Cut off the water and electricity!"
This is the most urgent thing.
They will never leave their place of residence!
How dare they demolish houses in a village where more than twenty households did not agree to the demolition?
Qi Lu made a phone call in front of them, and soon after, a man in his thirties rushed over.
